Our fifth morning with frost, but going to 62F this afternoon. Sun is up and shinning brightly too! Beautiful bright blue shy!
You lucky person, here in Galway, Ireland it is bucketing down. Can't go outside without a brolly! Is the frost affecting your garden at all Capt?
Well I ended up like the proverbial drowned rat today!!! Went to an outdoor market with my daughter and we got absolutely drenched. Even our underwear was soaking wet. Not a pleasant sensation having your knickers stuck to your b*m. Had to go to her flat, strip off and wait for everything to dry in her tumble dryer. Had a good laugh about it afterwards though as I was totting about with a blanket round my middle and a 'Taz' towel over my shoulders while balancing on a crutch - not a pretty sight.
Eileen. You poor thing Did you get some nice bargains at the market for your trouble? BTW off topic - like my new piccie? <-- watching like a hawk
Love your pic! Over here we call them Goldfinchs or wild canary. You guys can keep your rain over there! Don't send any of it west!
It's a nice sunny day here too. I started off with a sweatshirt but soon discarded that for a t-shirt. We went to a flea market outside too. We bought a $10.00 washing machine. Hope it works as our old one quit spinning and Brian had to hang everything on the line dripping. Dooley
Hi CK. Here is a piccie of our European Goldfinch for you. I have a few visit my garden every winter. 8) I managed to pick up a beautiful blue glass at the market (I love coloured glass) and it only cost me £1.50. Will look great in my living room, that is, when I pick it up from my daughter's, as I left it there by mistake. The main reason we went was to visit the butcher's van to pick up a months supply of meat each. Sadly after standing turning to a waterlogged sponge in the wet I found out that they didn't, in fact, have any chicken breasts left. We'll try again another time but I'll go prepared and wear a wet-suit, flippers and snorkle!!!
That red really stands out on him! That and the white breast are about the only difference. The body shape is almost the same.
